Vincent van Dog and Henri T. LaPooch are two very different dogs. When Henri visits Vincent in the country, he finds it a little too slow for his taste. And when Vincent travels to the city to visit Henri, the noise and bustle overwhelm him. It looks as if their friendship is doomed—until the two agree to meet somewhere neutral—at the beach! This bright, humorous book is a thoroughly original spin on the Aesop’s fable, “The Town Mouse and The Country Mouse.”
